Default Help to identify overflying helicopter - Sydney

Hi all, just now i had a helicopter, dark colour black maybe, with all sorts of gadgets hanging off it, Fly over Sydney's north-west from Richmond heading south-east towards Sydney very fast at about 1000ft. Defiantly wasn't a black hawk but didn't look like your regular civilian helicopter.
Anyone have any idea what it was?

Cheers
Gerard

Did anyone see or hear possibly a blackhawk flying a few hundered feet over north west Sydney about 15-20mins ago? Was outside and it cut across my backyard but it was heading south-west and into the sun so didn't get a great look at it. Think it had the two fuel pods attached?

Cheers

I certainly heard it Gerard, I thought it must of just been one of the regular Blackhawks that fly over my place, but this seemed a lot lower and louder, I should have raced outside for a look, you have got me wondering now.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was a lot bigger and as you said lower and louder than a blackhawk. Would have made for a great photo though as whatever it was looked great with the sun reflecting off it!
